Definitely, thermal paste is the answer for any practical application. Ah you’re right. I was thinking of experiments with indium foil I had seen[1]. Plus gallium is used in the pastes apparently. So if the goal is a very long term thermal

Is gallium foil sufficient?

Ah fair enough. In regions where it gets cold enough to damage the wood in the winter people wrap them. It’s pretty common in Brooklyn NYC to see fig trees wrapped in tar paper.

I’ve revived the tradition in my family! Switched to using bubble wrap and black plastic to wrap the trees this year. Went so so much faster and easier than any other method I’ve tried. What technique do you like for winterizing?

I thought fabs were mostly closed loop at this point, and occasionally just need a small sip of water after the initial fill.

No, it doesn’t and it’s not. It is possible to reason about morals without subtlety deceitful language games. I’d also like to point out that your comment likely uses the very same tactics that GP is complaining about. Clearly when saying “

Given the economics at play, I don’t think you’re giving enough credit to virologists. If such an exercise could save TRILLIONS of dollars in the short to mid term, do you still stand by your statement? This is not even a novel idea. The id

This is not a productive viewpoint, it’s defeatist. How would socialized medicine help in this specific case? More power to the government? The government already has plenty of power to influence outcomes through spending. However, that pow

I share your frustration, but the anti-vax people were expected. It’s like sitting into the wind at this point. The game plan should’ve been built around there non-compliance. Poor leadership only plans for things going how they want. As f

How about scale up the hospitals, or at least covid capacity in a meaningful way. How long does they public have to bear burden of insufficient health infra. EDIT: Sorry that might have come off a bit blunt. But the entire pandemic response

This kind of comment doesn’t fly here. Judging by you account age I think you know that. I take your point, but there are nicer and more constructive ways to put it.

What if it was the finger measurements of all 10 fingers of a specific person? As in they have so much jewelry made they can’t be bothered to constantly go to the jeweler, so they send their dodecahedron instead? Of course that leaves the q

IMO good analogies come from a place of empathy. An understanding that the people you are talking to are not dumb, just uninitiated. Not sure how applicable that observation is. Just sharing a thought.

I agree. This overzealous attitude from health regulators not good. I see it as nothing more than authoritarians in the health domain. They know what’s best for everyone, and clearly don’t trust that freedom empowers people. This is at the

I appreciate the sources, but the way you presented this is biased. To make it complete you should also post the total deaths and suicides for 2020.

No, there has not been an independent audit. I’m not sure How that would improve confidence as the auditors would still just be reviewing data provided by some of the best data scientists in the world, so if they’re going to lie they will r

All cars kill people. Tesla never claimed that their autopilot wouldn’t kill people. They have claimed it’s much safer than a human driving, and it is. Your snark is why you got downvoted, not a Tesla conspiracy. Also some people independen

The issue is that prosecutors works very closely with police. We need separate state level prosecutors who solely go after crimes committed by the police.

Separate from the validity of your take, it shouldn’t surprise you. People from the field already have the tear it down and rebuild attitude. It’s only unlearned after hard experience. But that experience is never gained on society level pr

Does anyone have good stats to share on how vaccination impacts transmission? I’m curious.

You’re writing style is unique and grabbed my attention. Any tips to write like that? You didn’t use “I” at all, but it seems likely there are some other rules going on here.

Is there any record of web-based attacks like this?

Well... aren't these attacks only a concern if you have adversarial code running on adjacent cores? So for a desktop user the threat model really doesn't change. Just do your best to keep malicious programs off of your machine. If
